[Mon 23rd Feb 2009] There was a great turnout of 30 members running the first Grand Prix race of 2009, The Snake Lane 10 Mile at Pocklington near York on Sunday 22^nd Feb. A cool, gusty breeze met the runners on the outward stretch of this mostly flat course round the villages and narrow lanes surrounding Pocklington. With the breeze behind for the final 3M homeward stretch, a good few pb’s were recorded. First Blyth runner to finish was Robbie Barkley in 35^th place in a time of 1:00:27, followed closely by Peter Brown in a pb of 1:00:59 for 45^th overall, these two helped the men to finish a respectable 15^th in the team event. For the ladies, first home was Leanne Herron, 22^nd lady and 203^rd overall in a time of 1:09:45, a staggering pb by over 10 minutes, the ladies team finished a fantastic 5^th place. Special mention must also go to Dave Logan (160^th in 1:07:40), another who slashed his pb by over 10 minutes, Alison Lowes who knocked over 4 minutes and Julie Lemin who knocked over a minute off their pb’ and to Cath Young who finished 3^rd O50 lady (263^rd in 1:13:30).
